Fenrir is a dark-edged Viking paranormal romance and cursed monster protector tale featuring a blood magic heart-sacrifice curse, a magically bound guardian, forbidden romance across class lines, and a living-stone wolf shapeshifter hero. When Jarl Erik discovers that a thrall’s son kissed his daughter Astrid on a moonlit islet during an invasion, Mistress Kun turns Fenrir into a wolf man in excruciating pain and forces Astrid to cut out his heart to bind him to her father’s stone army.

Readers who gravitate toward reachable wide and indie dark-paranormal authors like Bec McMaster’s Heart of Fire, Jeffe Kennedy’s The Mark of the Tala, Laura Thalassa’s Rhapsodic, Grace Draven’s Radiance, and sky-high heat monster romance staples, along with aspirational titans like Kresley Cole’s Kiss of a Demon King and Nalini Singh’s Slave to Sensation, will love Fenrir’s fierce devotion.

Available in e-book and e-reader formats across major digital stores, this high-heat prequel is packed with razor-sharp microtropes: a hand clamped over a mouth as a hundred invaders glide into the bay, a desperate plea on a witch’s red-stoned ring, claws at her throat at the edge of a prison pit to save her from marrying a traitor named Orm, a blade bouncing off stone skin, and a salt-frosted wolf brushing his fur in a mirror. It channels the dark fairy-tale intensity of Beauty and the Beast and The Northman.

For readers who love: dark cursed protector romance, monster hero with a heart of stone, forced marriage rescue, blood magic bondage, high-angst Viking shifter romance, protective villain-to-her-father heroes, and forbidden class-gap heat. Perfect for fans of: The Northman, Beauty and the Beast, Castlevania, The Witcher, and Richard Armitage.
